Chapter 1 Pride

[Full text reading.]

Fang Zhennuo was stunned: "Letter, what letter?"

Chang Sihao said: "It's the ...... written by Zen Master Liucheng"

Fang Zhennuo said: "Sixty percent, you know sixty percent, what letter did he write to me?" I heard Chang Sihao tell him how he got to Sichuan, how he met Liucheng Zen Master and Yuan Lao, and how Liucheng recommended himself to him, and said that he wanted to write a letter and other things, and then he understood, and said: "So it is so, in fact, as early as a few months ago, the second brother sent a letter to call me to help him, and I left Yunnan, even if the letter from Zen Master Liucheng was delivered, it must have fallen behind me, and it was wrong."

Feng Quanxiao said coldly: "Hmph, even if you have seen this letter earlier, can you still go over to help Dongchang's dogs" As soon as these words came out, Lu Taiheng and Yu Tiecheng's soothing complexions regained tension and will hold Han Naji and Wu Enqi back

Seeing that the vague sense of camp became clear again, Chang Sihao sighed, let go of the hand that was pressing Fang Zhennuo, starting from how he entered Beijing, how to meet the Zheng Mengzhu, how to be sealed, how to disguise Yuan Liangyu in the Diancang faction, how to provoke the three families to fight, how Liao Guangcheng colluded with Dongchang to plot the ten swords in the Sword Cultivation Hall, how Qin Juexiang acted out of fear How to suppress this matter in order to stabilize the situation and how to save Ming Chengjun at the Lichun banquet How did Guo Shu Ronghua's way by the Wuding River be misunderstood by Zhu Qingjiang and the two elders of You and Yan one by one

During the whole process, Feng Quanxiao listened quietly, and there was no sign of easing on his face, and Yu Tiecheng and Lu Taiheng's expressions were also half-believing, and they looked like they could not tell you until he finished speaking, Fang Zhennuo nodded, and said with a smile: "Brother Chang is straightforward and refreshing, and sure enough, it is the same as what Senior Brother Jiang said, and I am willing to believe in your personality But some things are mostly one-sided, and everyone can't explain them all, presumably Brother Chang can also understand."

Chang Sihao said: "Yes"

Fang Zhennuo said: "True and false, we might as well put it on hold for the time being, but today's matter is full of doubts, let's talk about it Well, I use my personality as a guarantor Himeno Ping is definitely not a traitor So who sent letters to several foreign clans and invited people to come to the talks What is the purpose of Brother Chang has a clue about this."

Chang Sihao thought to himself: "Listening to what he said just now, Ji Yeping still thinks about the eldest grandson Xiaochi, it doesn't look like a bad person anymore" He bowed his head for a moment and said: "Most people in the rivers and lakes will not do this kind of thing, so the person who designed it is not the emperor, but it must be Dongchang" As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Lu Taiheng, Yu Tiecheng and Feng Quanxiao all changed slightly, and Fang Zhennuo said happily: "Yes, Brother Chang is willing to say this, which is heartfelt Senior Brother Jiang, they made a big fuss at the banquet in Dongchang, which is equivalent to raising an anti-flag Juhao Pavilion to gather refugees and fight against corrupt officials Righteousness comes first It is the will of the people But if you bear the charge of connecting with foreign countries, then you will be despised by the world, and the most important people's hearts will be lost, and the government will come to conquer again, which is justified."

Chang Sihao's expression was painful In fact, he had already thought of this section It's just that he doesn't want to admit it In the eyes of the imperial court, no matter how many reasons the rebels have, they are also rebelling, and it is common for them to suppress and oppress them, and it is common sense to use any means It seems that although the emperor sent himself out to find the eldest grandson, Xiaochi, he had the intention of resolving it peacefully, but he still made preparations with both hands, and it could even be inferred that all this was a delaying tactic with a false shot

After thinking about it, he arched his hand and said, "Brother Fang, there is something to ask for below."

Fang Zhennuo said: "Please speak"

Chang Sihao's eyes fell behind him: "Prince Han and I are like brothers, he is not a belligerent person, and I hope that Brother Fang can let him go back so as not to cause disputes with the Tatar side" Fang Zhennuo smiled: "You can hold them in your hands It's a little inexplicable" Make a gesture General Yu Tiecheng let Han Naji and Wu Enqi go The big boat is looking for land to dock in Jiangbei Chang Sihao changed his boots and personally sent the two under the boat

Took Hannaji on the shore and took him by the hand It is difficult to give up Chang Sihao said: "Brother, you are not very old, but you are very short-tempered, I am afraid that after a long time, I will be easy to be taken advantage of by traitors, and I must change it when I go back, you must also listen to Wuenqi's words, don't mess with your temperament."

Hannaji's eyes moistened: "Don't worry, I will listen to you One gram of Brother Chang, I still want to wrestle with you every day, I can't bear you" Chang Sihao smiled: "It's not life and death, everyone still has the opportunity to meet Teach you something You have to practice hard when you go back, otherwise you will fall down when you touch it When will you win me?" Hannaji sobbed and smiled: "It's difficult to win you."

Wu Enqi said: "I will make it clear to the Great Khan after I go back, and try my best to persuade each other, please rest assured" Han Naji also nodded: "I will go back and do the same" Chang Sihao pondered: "What if your eldest uncle wants to kill you" Han Naji said: "He has many military achievements, he is a good man, I respect him, but if he wants to kill me, he has to fight."

Chang Sihao shook his head and held his hand tightly: "There is no blood relationship between you and me, and you can still be like this, and there is nothing to say between your relatives Relatives are one less if you don't have one, it's easy to kill, and when you don't miss it, you can't come back "Hannaji bowed his head and was silent Wu Enqi explained: "I don't have a shallow friendship with the eldest prince Try my best to say that there is still hope in the future If you can't do it, you will leave Dabansheng City and go back to the grassland to herd cattle and horses Anyway, I and the little prince don't like to live in the palace and the Bansheng house Chang Sihao nodded: "Well, I don't have to worry about you." The group said goodbye to Han Naji and walked out a few steps to suddenly turn around and called out "one gram of Chang Ge ......" Chang Sihao smiled and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it" Han Naji said: "I want to marry you and answer " These daily Sihao ears and eyes also learned a lot of Mongolian language with him I know that I am the worship brother of the Han people Quipped out: "Why, I have long regarded you as a brother It turns out that you are not a big brother I have caused me to be amorous for several days" Everyone laughed At that moment, the two of them piled up the soil and planted grass and bowed three times and stood up Untied Hannaji with a golden waist in the shape of a Mongolian leather wine pot and gave it to Chang Sihao as a gift Chang Sihao touched nothing on his body and suddenly remembered to greet Zhang Shisanniang with his hand Back to Zhang Shisanniang Pull out the "Sanhe Lihua" in the cabin Handing the reins to Hannaji The favorite of the steppe people is the horse The Sanhe Lihua is extremely majestic The body is bigger than most Mongolian horses Hannaji often touched it when he met him on the boat Very much I didn't think that he was willing to give this horse to himself When he boarded, he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut

Sent them away, Chang Sihao turned around and arched his hand to the gangway: "Brother Fang, this trip is so offended, I have to say goodbye in the next place, this Zhang Shisanniang and the sailors met me on the road, please don't be embarrassed."

Fang Zhennuo said: "Where is Brother Chang going" Chang Sihao said: "I am going back to Beijing to ask the emperor for an explanation" Fang Zhennuo laughed: "The Holy Son of Heaven is bent on going his own way, what can you ask for a statement" A sentence made Chang Sihao fix there: In fact, everything is very clear to him now The emperor is just using himself, the eldest grandson, Xu Jie, and even Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Guo Shuronghua and everyone is just using it The whole world is not the king's land The shore of the land is not the king's minister No matter how much others do for him, it should be Who is qualified to find fault with him But it's like this, what can you do if you don't talk to him In a daze, I suddenly thought again: What I heard was also Fang Zhennuo's words How is this person Ji Yeping But he didn't hesitate for a while and said tentatively: "In this way, can Brother Fang arrange it from here Let me meet with the master of Ji Ge?"

As soon as he heard this, Feng Quanxiao's brows furrowed: If you want to meet, you must introduce it to Junshan Wouldn't you have to let him see the situation in the cave Just as he was about to speak, Lu Taiheng pulled his arm and shook his head at him Feng Quanxiao understood in his heart and looked at the military advisor as soon as he pressed it I saw that Fang Zhennuo just groaned slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face, and his hand reached down Chang Sihao raised his hand and held it with him He exchanged glances with each other A little bit of strength Leverage the strength to get on the boat

Fang Zhennuo instructed Lu Taiheng to return the sword and all kinds of belongings to Chang Sihao Feng Quanxiao watched from the side and was silent

Zhang Sanniang thought that there was a big battle to be fought, but she didn't want to get involved Things have a new direction She is still not very at ease with the people of Juhao Pavilion Although she confirmed the course according to Lu Taiheng's guidance and sailed eastward, she was still secretly wary in her heart Fang Zhunuo walked up to Feng Quanxiao and said: "When I was on the trestle just now, the brothers below were a little fluctuating Brother Feng, please go back and preside over it Brothers ask the truth You don't have to answer, just smile on the spot without caring Feng Quanxiao frowned and stared at him Puzzled Fang Zhennuo said: "At that time, the other party had all the evidence Let's only have one mouth, but the effect of the defense is not good This matter is very important I will discuss countermeasures with you when I go back If the truth is made public, I am afraid that the enemy will change and move after the enemy is born, but it will be unfavorable to us " Feng Quanxiao nodded slightly stunned: "Yes" Fang Zhennuo said: "The situation has changed During my return to Junshan, the affairs in the west will be temporarily replaced by you Everything must be careful " Feng Quanxiao glanced at Lu and Yu next to him He has never been convinced by the orders of this little military division In terms of obedience, these two people are far better than themselves But I don't want to be willing to use myself in this situation Eyebrows and said: "Military advisor ......" Fang Zhennuo smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it on his big arm When his body was close, his lips moved lightly and said a few words in a low voice Feng Quanxiao looked up at him with a look of surprise in his eyes Seeing Fang Zhennuo nodding at himself His expression was resolute and fixed At the moment, he gave up his hand and said no more words No need for a small boat Turn around and run two steps A fierce man plunged into the river In a blink of an eye, he was gone

Chang Sihao stroked the railing of the boat and looked at the Taotao River, and suddenly remembered something and asked: "Brother Fang, the water village just now is also your territory, how did Feng Quanxiao know that I came east on the Qixiang Yuanzhu?"

A gust of autumn wind swept across the river Fang Zhennuo smiled Facing the wind and carrying his hand The cuff fluttered Chang Sihao saw a big handprint printed red on his thin white neck It was pinched by himself I felt a little reluctant to think: "Li Molei is not only one of the fourteen swordsmen of the White Lotus, but also the same name as You Lao and Yan Lao Why does his disciple seem to have no martial arts When I shot to catch him in the hall, he didn't react at all It's not like he was pretending."

Fang Zhennuo looked up to the cloudy sky and the red sun, so that Jiang Feng was cool and his neck was blowing comfortably, and then he turned around, leaned on the railing, and asked with a smile: "I heard that the Qin family has made a big show in Shanxi and expanded its combat power to thirty or forty thousand, I don't know if there is such a thing."

Chang Sihao said: "I haven't been back to the Beijing Division, and I've heard that there is such a thing, but the specific number is not accurate."

Fang Zhennuo smiled and looked away, Chang Sihao sank slightly, and he already understood his meaning: In the eyes of outsiders, he is the core figure of the Qin family, and he should know everything well This made Fang Zhennuo listen to it, and most of them seemed a little untrue, but what he said was not false Believe it or not, it is up to him I saw Fang Zhennuo said: "Shibei will be impressed in three days Other families are desperately expanding their manpower We can't be idle Since I have done the position of this military division, I will start to march along the west of the river Now outside the Three Gorges Most of the heroes on both sides of the strait have been under his command It is expected to be before next spring." It can also lay a good foundation in Sichuan"

Chang Sihao thought to himself: There are indeed a lot of people in Juhao Pavilion But such a lengthening of the front is bound to disperse the forces Since Zhu Qingjiang made a big fuss in Dongchang in the evening, the situation has already become extremely tense You don't take the cabinet to step up the defense of the official army, but instead expand westward It is too arrogant and outrageous to act However, first, I am not familiar with him Second, I have already made up my mind in my heart Everything will be said after seeing Himenodairi Therefore, I will not say anything deeply

Fang Zhennuo said: "A few days ago, I sent Feng Quanxiao to Wanzhou to have a note in advance with some friends in the rivers and lakes to discuss some cooperation matters, but he saw you on the way back So he led people to fall behind quietly I was hesitant to find out what was going on, I didn't want you to be in danger in Kuimen, and he took the opportunity to make a little bad "Speaking of this, he smiled slightly: "Brother Chang will not remember this grudge in a lot" Chang Sihao said: "How can it be rude under the next Brother Fang, don't hold a grudge in your heart "Fang Zhennuo laughed: "Brother Chang is probably not just a hand." Chang Sihao remembered his scolding words and his face was slightly red, but he saw that the other party had a hand and a white bag appeared in his palm Hurriedly reached out and touched his neck Sure enough, what he was wearing was gone, but he didn't know when he took it off and said: "Brother Fang's magic hand, I don't want to be so good at kung fu" took it and looked at his smiling appearance, and felt even more puzzled and asked: "If you can pick up the bag, you can pick off my head, but why don't you fight back in the hall and let me take it away?"

Fang Zhennuo smiled: "It's just a little trick, I really can't use it, Brother Chang's martial arts are world-famous, I'm not careful, I can't draw it if I hurt my muscles and bones" Chang Sihao shook his head slowly, and suddenly thought: "He pretended to be captured, didn't he bet on himself to see if I was as powerful as a villain, and let me tell the truth" Fang Zhennuo looked at his expression sideways and laughed and said: "Brother Chang, don't be too careful, I can't hide it This trick I took off when my brother was unconscious I just want to have fun with you Chang Sihao stared at him sullenly and thought: "That's weird."

Along the way, he chatted with Fang Zhennuo and found that although this person was young, he was really knowledgeable and talented, and he talked a lot, and suddenly remembered something and asked: "Some people say that Guan Yu wanted to kill Cao Cao in Xu Tian Not for any purpose to revive the Han Dynasty, but to ask a woman to be his little wife, but the woman was asked by Cao Cao, is it true?"

Fang Zhennuo smiled: "How did you think of asking this?"

Chang Sihao said: "It's nothing, others tell me, I don't believe it, I just want to ask."

Fang Zhennuo nodded: "Guan Yu in history is indeed like this, but this is not surprising The name does not match the reality It is the norm in history The ancients said, 'Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and when Wang Mang was humble and respectful, if he died that year, who knows the truth of his life's words, it is only half right, the living person is elusive, and what the coffin is determined is actually just an elephant touched by a blind man This friend of yours seems to be a person who is reasonable and poor, and refuses to blindly believe and obey blindly Now in these years, it is rare I don't know his noble name and surname I really want to get acquainted with him and talk to him."

After saying this, he looked at Chang Sihao, but saw that he was looking straight at the river bank, and he didn't know where his mind had turned

A few days later, the boat turned south, went straight into Dongting through the tuning waterway, and when it reached the surface of the lake, it was the end of the day, but I saw a few rays of orange light chasing the water under the autumn sun, and the number of sails on the blue waves swayed horizontally, and the merchant ship tow team was like a patrol duck and a goose, and the fishing boats were scattered like floating plume beads, and the water in Dongting was open for eight hundred miles, and the birds and kites were flying, and it was a scene of a treasure of things At this time, a few leaves of silverfish were also like small boats floating out of Lugang on both wings, and they sailed to this side intentionally or unintentionally After answering with the flag, he scattered idly, leaving only two to approach the Qixiang Yuanzhu

Fang Zhennuo called Yu Tiecheng over and said in a low voice: "Brother, let's get off the boat Send a message to tell the brothers who stayed in the middle and lower reaches to shrink with all their might, cross the river and go north, quickly assemble the remaining manpower to the east of Honghu Lake, and the action should be concealed Yu Tiecheng's eyes were surprised, and he really couldn't think of what to do with gathering everyone to Honghu Lake in Jiangbei Fang Zhunuo said: "Don't ask more" Yu Tiecheng responded Lu Taiheng saw that the momentum was not right, and he came over early Fang Zhennuo said: "Brother go to the Lingji Waterway in the northeast city Organize the brothers to equip the water support, grappling hooks, hammers and chisels and other things Pay attention to concealment and stay until ......." The voice was lowered again Lu Taehyung nodded frequently when he listened, and he was a little uneasy and said, "This will leave you ...... by yourself" Fang Zhennuo smiled and waved his hand Lu Taehyung flew off the boat

The two small boats rowed out of the two water lines like leek leaves and floated away The Qixiang Yuanzhu continued to move forward After sailing for about a meal, a large island in front of it was dimly visible between the mist and the sunset Fang Zhunuo pointed with a smile at the bow of the boat: "That is Junshan" Gradually approaching The tidal flats on the shore and the pavilions on the island have become clearly visible

Thinking that he was about to meet with Himeno Ping Chang Sihao was a little nervous and secretly wished the best rumors in his heart to be false This new generation of Juhao Pavilion master is really a traitor Suddenly remembered a strange thing and asked: "Himeno Ping is the second brother You are naturally the third brother So who is your eldest brother ?"

Fang Zhennuo said: "Naturally, he is the master of the eldest grandson pavilion."

Chang Sihao said: "It turns out that the three of you are worshipping together" Fang Zhennuo shook his head: "I came too late and I haven't seen the Lord of the Changsun Pavilion When I bowed, I was supposed to respect Ji Yeping as the eldest brother, but he insisted on putting the Lord of the Changsun Pavilion in front of him and said that he would always be our big brother regardless of whether he was there or not."

"Hmm......" Chang Sihao's eyes reflected the lake waves, and he was speechless for a while

Fang Zhennuo waved the flag and sent a message, and someone on the headland lookout on the island also waved the flag in reply The boat passed smoothly Around a green forest shore A small boat flashed out of the water Slowly introduced the Qixiang Yuanzhu into a deep harbor

This port is sandwiched between two cliffs and ditches Embedded in the depths of the land like a hoof Among them are three vertical and wide waterways that can accommodate four cars to cross Middle, there are two long trestle bridges in the middle Forming a "and" character The two cliffs are several feet high The bluestone is suddenly exposed There are stone fortifications built on it like terraces Connected by plank roads At this time, the speed of the boat is reduced to the minimum Slowly moving forward between the waterways Chang Sihao suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right Raised his eyes and looked at the crowds between the trenches on the shore Many samurai bowed their backs and quickly gathered They looked like they were facing a great enemy The water-watching platform directly opposite is densely covered with archers, and the ambush soldiers can also be faintly seen in the mountains and forests behind Zhang Sanniang was also alert, and leaned closer and said: "Master Hou, it seems that the signs are wrong."
